Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, passing, verified, release-ready, or ready to commit, merge, publish, or hand off.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

<EXPLICIT-MODE-GATE>
If `activation_mode = "explicit"` or `AEGIS_ACTIVATION_MODE=explicit` is visible
and the request names neither Aegis nor this skill, return to the fast path
without checklist/ceremony; otherwise continue.
</EXPLICIT-MODE-GATE>

# Execute

Before success claim: classify destructive permission; read sufficient current
evidence and run a fresh falsifying check when it is missing or invalidated;
read the complete result/scope; select L0/L1/L2. Downgrade for partial,
stale, failing, or narrower evidence; never claim complete then verify later.

This pack grants no `GateDecision`, `PolicySnapshot`, evidence sufficiency,
requirement acceptance, or completion authority.

## Stop Signals

- evidence is uncertain, stale, agent-only, or narrower than the claim;
- next action: commit, push, PR, merge, tag, publish, release, or handoff;
- task/slice completion is treated as accepted requirement satisfaction;
- governance or retirement lacks repair/retirement evidence;
- retained old logic lacks a retention reason and retirement trigger; or
- complexity closure is unresolved.

Destructive/irreversible work needs scoped permission; broad assent is not scoped permission.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ganyuanran/aegis/verification-before-completion@sha256:680765ac67abe9b9

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261102.d6b0c44, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
